Bowling Green Elementary

Public, Charter Grades K-6

4379^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 25% of California elementary schools

Summary

Bowling Green Elementary serves 685 students in grades K–6 in Sacramento, within Sacramento City Unified. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 31% in English language arts (ELA), 26% in math and 15% in science. The most important takeaway for families is that Bowling Green is a relative bright spot among nearby schools, especially in math, but its results remain below both district and state rates in every subject.

Compared with nearby schools, Bowling Green scored above the average of nine peers with results in 2025–26 in all three subjects: 31% versus 21% in ELA, 26% versus 15% in math and 15% versus 12% in science. Its math result is its clearest local strength, ranking second among the 10 schools with scores; it also ranked third in ELA and science. But the school trails Sacramento City Unified and California: its math proficiency was 26%, compared with 32% districtwide and 38% statewide; in science, it was 15%, versus 30% and 36%. Science is the largest gap from both benchmarks.

Longer-term results are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 1 percentage point, math rose 2 points and science fell 1 point, while each subject’s gap with the state widened. ELA did recover from 25% in 2023–24 to 31%. SchoolDigger ranks Bowling Green at the 25th percentile statewide with 1 star, up from the 18th percentile in 2023–24; it ranks third among nearby schools with current ratings. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 23.2, and 82% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. That is an eligibility measure, not the share receiving meals; California provides free school meals to all students. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings differ sharply: Special Education Students ranked at the 61st percentile in 2025–26, compared with 25 overall, while Asian Students ranked at the 4th percentile. These rankings measure how well the school serves each group, not the students’ abilities.
